Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cranes, and particularly to a balance detection device for a mine crane. Background Art

[0002] Mine cranes generally work in the wild. During operation, the crane uses hydraulic telescopic outriggers to widen the vehicle body to improve its lifting capacity and balance. When the hydraulic outriggers are extended and supported, they are in a locked state, and the outriggers are rigidly connected to the vehicle body. In actual work, the supporting force of the hydraulic outriggers of the crane changes in real time with the working state of the crane. Often due to misoperation or overweight, etc., the crane loses balance and overturns. When the crane is working, the supporting force of one side or one outrigger increases, and the supporting force of the corresponding outrigger decreases. When the difference in the supporting force between the outriggers exceeds the critical value, the crane loses balance and overturns. Therefore, a balance detection device for a mine crane that can detect the balance state of the crane in real time is of great practicality for ensuring the safety of the crane and the operating personnel. Summary of the Invention

The plurality of differential pressure detection mechanisms are respectively connected to the control box through lines. The plurality of support cylinders are respectively installed on the lower end faces of the plurality of legs of the crane. When the legs of the crane are unfolded to support the crane, the plurality of grounding plates and the plurality of support cylinders cooperate with the plurality of legs to support the crane. When the crane is hoisting, the plurality of support cylinders are subjected to the pressure of the crane, causing the hydraulic oil pressure inside them to rise and change. The pressure enters the plurality of pressure reducing valves through the plurality of cylinder connectors and the plurality of high-pressure hoses. The plurality of pressure reducing valves reduce the input oil pressure according to a certain ratio and then input it into both ends of the plurality of differential pressure detection mechanisms through the high-pressure hard pipe. The plurality of differential pressure detection mechanisms detect the pressure difference between the two pressure reducing valves connected to them and send the pressure difference value to the control box. The control box performs crane balance detection according to the pressure difference value.

[0006] Preferably, the oil cylinder connector further includes a connecting pipe, two ear plates, a high-pressure oil gauge, a high-pressure injection oil pipe, a pressure sensor, and a high-pressure connector. One end of the connecting pipe is installed on the port of the oil cylinder connector, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the upper port of the supporting oil cylinder.

The pressure value inside the oil cylinder connector and the supporting oil cylinder can be understood through the high-pressure oil gauge. During maintenance, hydraulic oil is injected into the oil cylinder connector and the supporting oil cylinder through the high-pressure injection oil pipe, and the initial pressure in the supporting oil cylinder and the oil cylinder connector is adjusted.

The two small push cylinders extend under the pressure and compress the two springs. The elongation amounts of the two small push cylinders are different due to different pressures received. The contraction amounts of the two springs are the same under the common compression of the two small push cylinders. Therefore, the two springs drive the induction plate to move along the sliding groove towards the side with lower pressure. The position sensor detects the movement of the induction plate, detects the pressure difference between the two pressure reducing valves, that is, the pressure difference between the corresponding two crane outriggers, and transmits the pressure difference value to the control box. When the movement of the induction plate causes the contact plate to contact the contact head of a contact switch, the pressure difference value reaches the set critical value.

Adjusting studs are installed on the contact heads of the plurality of contact switches, and patterns are provided on the outer walls of the plurality of adjusting studs. By rotating the adjusting studs, the distance between the contact head of the contact switch and the contact plate is adjusted to set the critical value. The alarm method of mechanical contact is more reliable than the electronic induction type and can be used in the harsh environment of the mining area.

A chute 21 is provided in the middle of the bottom plate 20. The two ends of the upper end face of the bottom plate 20 are installed with vertical plates 22. The fixed ends of the two small push cylinders 23 are respectively installed on the two vertical plates 22.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, when a mine crane balance detection device of the present invention is working, first, a plurality of support cylinders 2 are respectively installed on the lower end faces of a plurality of outriggers of the crane. When the outriggers of the crane are unfolded to support the crane, a plurality of grounding plates 1 and a plurality of support cylinders 2 cooperate with the plurality of outriggers to support the crane. Then, when the crane is performing a hoisting operation, the hydraulic oil pressure inside the plurality of support cylinders 2 increases and changes under the pressure of the crane.

Then, the plurality of pressure reducing valves 5 reduce the input oil pressure according to a certain ratio and input it into the plurality of small push cylinders 23 through the high-pressure rigid pipes 7. The plurality of small push cylinders 23 extend under pressure and compress the plurality of springs 24. The pressures received by the two opposite small push cylinders 23 are different, so their elongation amounts are different, while the contraction amounts of the two springs 24 are the same under the combined compression of the two small push cylinders 23. Therefore, the two springs 24 drive the sensing plate 25 to move along the sliding groove 21 towards the side with lower pressure. The plurality of position sensors 27 sense the movement of the plurality of sensing plates 25, detect the pressure difference between the plurality of pressure reducing valves 5, that is, the pressure difference between the corresponding two crane outriggers, and transmit the pressure difference value to the control box 9.
